Index of Coincidence

This tool can be used to work out the key length when the Vigenere cipher is used. It takes two copies of the cipher-text and lines both up against each other with different shifts, and then counts the number of times the same letter occurs in the same column. When the correct shift/key length is found then you will find a spike in this number.
